It may give Obama some cover on the Wright issue, but it also gives him a great vulnerability. Many believe in what Wright says-—that’s how he got enough money to build that new million dollar home in an all-white golf course community in Chicago this year. Whether they will chose Wright et al. or Obama remains to be seen.
Obama didn’t want to risk losing the Wright-follower support previously. Now he has no choice.
Obama's the one running for president, not Wright. So, they'll choose Obama.
You can bet everyone in the TUCC congregation will vote for him, no matter what he says about their pastor, because (a) they know it's all an act, that he still secretly believes in what Wright stands for and (b) because this is their first chance to elect a black president.
